Details

The Oliveyoung B2B Logistics Squad adopted AWS MSK Connect while restructuring a monolithic legacy system into MSA. Through this, they implemented Asynchronous Communication and CDC (Change Data Capture), reducing dependency on batch systems and strengthening real-time data processing.

MSK (Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka) consists of a Broker, Producer, and Consumer structure, and is optimized for maintaining data consistency and sending/receiving large volumes of data. MSK Connect is a plugin-based service that supports data integration between Kafka and various external systems (S3, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, etc.).

The key strategies for stable operation are as follows.

  • Ensuring data availability: By configuring the Replication Factor, a Follower Partition is set to be promoted to a Leader Partition when a failure occurs, preventing data loss.
  • Resource optimization: Since the product of the number of Partitions and the Replication Factor determines the total number of storage units, appropriate settings tailored to data characteristics are needed.
  • Data lightweighting: To address the growing storage space issue, the Avro format is used to optimize data size.
